Spaceship

I had plans for a fantastic Filth Wizardry rocket ship when this huge box showed up at our front door (housing my brother’s cello). My kids loved the idea, but not my design. Here is their version of a rocket ship. Eventually they tore down the side walls even, and covered it in foam stickers. Not what I envisioned, but they thoroughly enjoyed it!

Okay the rocket ship on Filth Wizardry is totally awesome, but I love that you let your kids do their own thing. I know sometimes I have ideas in my head and I carry on for my daughter, but she probably would be even happier doing it her own way.

Kudos to you! And I remember getting a new fridge when I was a kid. Best playhouse ever! It was in the living room or the back yard for weeks. Windows, curtains. Markers love cardboard!

The fun had is what counts! and they look like they had plenty :) I made the base structure of our rocket ship one evening, once they were asleep, so they just helped to decorate it, but they love having free creative reign too. We’ve recently been gifted someone’s used packing boxes, so we’ll likely have a huge totally unstructured buildathon with them pretty soon :) It’s been at least four months since the back yard looked like a shantytown ;)
